1. A computer, comprising:
- a storage system;
at least one processor; and
one or more programs stored in the storage system and being executable by the at least one processor, the one or more programs comprising;
a setting module sets parameters of a measurement machine;
a sending module sends a movement instruction to the measurement machine and starts a shaft to move according to the parameters of the measurement machine;
a determination module determines whether the measurement machine works normally during movement of the shaft, and determines if the shaft contacts an object;
a sending module sends a stop instruction to the measurement machine and powers off a signal light of the measurement machine, if the measurement machine works normally and the shaft contacts the object;
the determination further determines whether the shaft is contacted again when the shaft rebounds; and
a computing module computes the coordinates of the contact point if the shaft is not contacted again when the shaft rebounds.

Abstract
A method for controlling movement of a measurement machine using a computer. The computer sends a movement instruction to the measurement machine and starts a shaft to move according to parameters of the measurement machine. The computer sends a stop instruction to the measurement machine and powers off a signal light of the measurement machine, if the measurement machine works normally and the shaft contacts an object. The computer computes the coordinates of the contact point, if the shaft is not contacted again when the shaft rebounds.

13. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored therein instructions that, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to perform a method for controlling movement of a measurement machine connected to the computer, the method comprising:
-
setting parameters of a measurement machine; sending a movement instruction to the measurement machine and starting the shaft to move according to the parameters of the measurement machine; determining whether the measurement machine works normally during movement of the shaft, and determining whether the shaft contacts an object; sending a stop instruction to the measurement machine and powering off a signal light of the measurement machine, if the measurement machine works normally and the shaft contacts the object; determining whether the shaft is contacted again when the shaft rebounds; and computing the coordinates of the contact point, if the shaft is not contacted again when the shaft rebounds. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
